With regard to endometrial cancer survival, the single tagSNP analysis signified a 51-kb 5′ region of five tagSNPs in EGF – including TAG1 (rs718768, HR 0.42, 95% CI 0.22–0.81, P=0.0038) to TAG5 (rs1024600, HR 0.49, 95% CI 0.26–0.92, P=0.016) – that were associated with the risk of dying from endometrial cancer (Figure 2). Here, EGF is linked to endometrial cancer.
